Welcome to Excited State

Welcome to Excited State - our mission is to produce functional, beautiful websites that are a pleasure to use. We pride ourselves on the clarity with which we explain every part of the web development process. Please enjoy viewing our portfolio below.

We have a wide range of skills, backed up both with practical, commercial experience and academic study. We are as comfortable building a database to hold your content as we are considering how your users will browse that content or how it will be marketed online.

Nooz Desk

Nooz Desk is a new way for Citizen Journalists to share content with major news agencies and is set up so they get paid for their efforts.

The website requires a specific type of user who has to apply to become a citizen journalist before having access to tools which allow them to create media packs for sale to news agencies. As such there is not much more than about the business pages visible to anonymous users, but plenty going on in the account pages if you care to apply.

Love Your Larder

Marketplace e-commerce website allowing small food producers in the UK to connect with a national marketplace and allowing the general public to discover great food they may not have known existed.

The development of the website was an organic process as the underlying business developed. The business and supporting website enabled us to go through two exclusive business development programmes and the founder was nominated for a Guardian Mega Award.

NB - this site has undergone changes since the business took on a full time juinor developer although the principles underlying remain the same
